The three of us decided to conquer and divide. I went to hear the presentation about Moodle. “The session was filled to the gills”. I sat with a real techie who had used it before. Moodle is an open source course management system. The web site to register: www.moodle.remote-learner.net. It is something I fully intend to pursue.

I wander around the vendors. A couple of my top choices were: A resource for global project-based learning, problem-based learning, and online collaborative learning : www.GlobalSchoolNet.org. Also the Library of Congress Teacher Page- www.loc.gov/teachers.

The key note speaker was Dewitt Jones. http://dewittjones.com. He was a freelance photographer for National Geographic for Twenty years. We heard “Extraordinary Visions”. The presentation was not only extraordinary, it was totally inspiring. Make sure you listen to the audio/video clips: http://dewittjones.com/html/keynotes.shtml

Went to the Discovery Booth and hear Hall Davidson, he is always exciting. He was talking about Learning Adds Up. It is a unique way for schools to earn money if parents sign up for Cosmeo http://www.learningaddsup.com/. I know if my children were in school we would have it.
